IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ60's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
JBL Tune 225TWS, at 9.8g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ60 with a difference -4.2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ60 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together.
JBL Tune 225TWS also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ60 are resistant to sweat
Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Tune 225TWS also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Technics EAH AZ60 stay well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both JBL Tune 225TWS, and Technics EAH AZ60 have passive noise reduction this implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Tune 225TWS driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 4mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Tune 225TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 225TWS's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Technics EAH AZ60's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Tune 225TWS's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 2.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ60's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Tune 225TWS's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 5 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ60's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Tune 225TWS takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ60
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case.
JBL Tune 225TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Tune 225TWS too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Tune 225TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Technics EAH AZ60
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Tune 225TWS have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ60
Technics EAH AZ60 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ60 will work well with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JBL Tune 225TWS support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
The Technics EAH AZ60 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have 8 microphones.
While the JBL Tune 225TWS microphones are 4,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds.
The Technics EAH AZ60 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
The Technics EAH AZ60 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
The Technics EAH AZ60 support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device.
The JBL Tune 225TWS too support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, only that the battery fills up much faster. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in just thirty minutes.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a mute function, they support the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
The JBL Tune 225TWS also support this function. The mute function means that you are in position turn off the device's microphone, but you can still hear the other party talk.
The Technics EAH AZ60, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds.
JBL Tune 225TWS also have a control panel on them.
Technics EAH AZ60 support voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection.
JBL Tune 225TWS too support voice prompts .i.e the earbuds will notify you when the battery is running low, and you need to recharge the earbuds.
The Technics EAH AZ60 come with a special pouch. Carrying earphones openly, or putting them in your pockets without a casing may easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
